Use of Programs
! WARNING: Obtain a medical exam before
beginning any exercise program.
Begin comfortably with a lower
level and progress with higher
levels as you become acclimated.
With the Arc Trainer, you may choose from six
different programs. Five of the programs provide ten levels of difficulty for a choice of fifty
different preprogrammed options. You may also use Manual Mode. With this unique
combination of programs, you can tailor your workout to achieve exactly the fitness goals you
desire, including: weight loss, conditioning, endurance or maintenance of overall health.
Speed is never predetermined for you; you can change your speed simply by changing your
stride. The program choices are summarized as follows:
